Hey dear listeners,Jas and Maggie both have had 17-year-old Olivia Rodrigo’s song 'Drivers Licence' in our heads so we debrief on the drama and backstory that surrounds this record-breaking single.Then we chat about the disturbing cannibal allegations against Armie Hammer. We refer to this article that includes screenshots of alleged conversations. Armie responded to these allegations and has since stepped away from his role in an upcoming film. The controversy has since been escalated by his ex Courtney Vucekovich coming forward with domestic violence accusations. This Twitter thread unpacks the power imbalance and misogyny that Armie is perpetuating. Jasmine references to this article in Rolling Stone Magazine with a kink perspective from a BDSM expert.If this topic brings up any emotions for you, don’t be ashamed to reach out and get help.
